 Chris O Sullivan joins the Bluebirds
Last week manager Wayne Jones left the Bluebirds to join Welsh Premier Aberystwyth Town, and the Bluebirds have moved swiftly to establish their new managerial staff as they tackle life back in Welsh League Division One next season.
 

Bluebirds’ statement reveals all

 
Haverfordwest County released a statement on their website stating: “Haverfordwest County are delighted to announce that former Bluebirds stalwart, midfielder Chris O'Sullivan has returned to the Conygar Bridge Meadow in a management role.
 
“Chris has extensive footballing experience having played both professionally and semi-professionally. He left the Bluebirds at the end of the 2014/15 season after many years at the club.
 
“For 2015/16 he joined Nigel Delaney on the management team at Goodwick United and together they guided the Pembrokeshire League side through a hugely successful, multiple trophy-winning season.
 

Club looking forward to the challenge

 
 “This season, the Bluebirds will be targeting success in Welsh League One after relegation from the Welsh Premier League and believe that Sully's appointment will give them every opportunity to help move the club forward.
 
“Haverfordwest County would like to thank Goodwick United for allowing them to speak with Chris about the possibility of a return to the Conygar Bridge Meadow.”
 

Sully speaks out about his new role

 
O’Sullivan told PembrokeshireSport about his excitement at joining the Bluebirds.
“I’m really grateful to David (Hughes) for giving me this opportunity to coach with the club.
 
“I played for them (Bluebirds) for ten seasons, but it was still a hard decision to leave my home town club Goodwick United, after we just won an historical treble.
 
“I will aim along with Sean and Micky to get Haverfordwest County back to the Welsh Premier.
 
“I’m going to work hard and give it my best shot; it won’t be easy but winning anything isn’t handed to anyone on a plate. You have to work hard to reap the awards, but I will leave no stone unturned.”
